I thought this video was great. Apparently the GTR owner had no idea what was in store for him. Great stuff. Sorry for the indirect video link. Funny nonetheless as you get to read the comments in the thread.

I am amazed that the CTR2 manages to overtake the GTR in the straight... I would guess the Nissan has better aero and more power (maybe the RUF got into the slipstream?)
I agree

I love Porsche as much as anyone and am a huge fan of RUF and the 993 in general, but come on now. I had a Nissan GTR for a bit. It cost me $60k. I added a Cobb AccessPort for another $1500 that put me at about 600HP in 20 minutes (pure software). For another $1000 I added a ypipe that gave me another 50HP.

At that point the car was terrifying to drive. Easily the quickest car I'd ever owned. Unless you were starting with a 997 turbo S *and* modifying it, you were going to get walked.

So sure... If you start with one of the most expensive RUF cars ever made (the CTR2 was like $300 grand wasnt it?), and then you modify it *even further*, it can walk a $60k Nissan with bolt-ons. I mean thats great but so can a Bugatti Veyron or a CGT. IMO its almost sort of embarrassing for Porsche and Ferrari fans to keep taking victory laps every time a car that costs as much as a decent house manages to just edge out a Nissan that costs about as much as a Range Rover.
